After the "Great Awakening"....... now what.....

We Americans love "the big moment" and in fact we typically search for more and more.....we are "big moment" junkies.  Especially in the New Age Industry-- and it is now definitely an industry.  We meet our Archangel, we discover our  "purpose" (which of course has to be bigger than being a rosebush or a hummingbird, lol).  We need to be big, important, special-- especially in the eyes of others. We long to hold workshops, we deposit accolades in our emotionally bankrupt bank accounts, we collect of proof of our spirituality (or even of our existence) to post (humbly) on Facebook and graciously in the most self effacing efforts we can muster, thank our followers.  Whew. We are busy........ constructing an existence, a meaning, and of course being busy means we really don't have to be too present, or feel our feelings.

In my reality, once you truly get on a Path, you are busy.... with a Practice!  And "big moments" filter through each day as consistent as gravity, and air.  A flower opens, your cat's paw is laid on your cheek, a rush of energy sweeps through you. Have you ever wondered what fills the day of an Aesthetic living in a cave in the Himalayas? Or of  Practioners living in silent retreat?  Each day is full and complex when your live your Practice.

Having grown up in the world of therapists and later New Age-er's, I observed the majority do not live the life they teach..... AND the majority teach to others what they are desperately lacking in their own lives rather than confronting issues in their own reality.  These observations may be an anomaly that simply showed up in my life..... but they may also be truths.  I personally do not want to follow that path-- living beside myself....... or living in spite of my self....... rather than taking the path of having an authentic life full of ..... moments..... big, intimate, daily, miniscule, miraculous moments.

After the first "awakening." there will be many many more throughout your life....if you have a diligent practice. Over time, one learns to recognize the signs that yet another awakening is about to emerge and change your life, alter your gravity field, accelerate you into another galaxy where it will take you a while to figure out (again) how to move around, how to function.  It will, once again, be miraculous and I often can be found on my knees in front of my altar giving thanks that I have been shown yet another universe to inhabit that I did not even know existed (and therefore I did not imagine it, intention it, or manifest it). 

So after the workshop, the Reading, the crystals, the vortex or matrix, the astral travel, soul retrieval, past life exploration, extra-terrestrial visitation, comes...... your life.  Fill it with a daily practice. Find a community to practice with, or create one. Stay healthy and centered --- after all you did sign up to have a body and a life on Earth. Discover fun to feed the Soul, and most of all, stay on the Path.  You will find that it is not the "Great Awakenings" that fill up life as much as the quality of all the miracles that occur in your life daily. We often miss these miracles in our search for the next "Big Moment."  The miracles live in "chop wood, carry water."  Do those with soulful mindfulness and see your life bloom.

Trauma Bonding in Friendships

Trauma bonding in friendships Signs of Trauma Bonding When you continue to be fixated on people who hurt you and who are no longer in your life. When you crave contact with someone who has hurt you and who you know will cause you more pain. When you continue to revolve around people who you know are taking advantage of you or exploiting you. When you are committed to remaining loyal to someone who has betrayed you, even though their actions indicate few signs of change. When you are desperate to be understood, validated, or needed by those who have indicated they do not care about you. When you go to great lengths to continue to help, care-take, or consider people who have been destructive to you. There is a constant pattern of nonperformance. Your friend or partner continues to make promises only to break them consistently. There might be a boatload of apologies however there is no change in their act

Wong Loh (Huang-Lao): The Teacher

Image
Dr. Marie is an Initiated Student who has been with Wong Loh Sin See since 1986 . While she has studied many other modalities (shamanism, pagan, remote healing systems, nature spirits, crystals, life between lives regressions, animal communication, psychic talents, oracle cards and more) she considers Wong Loh her primary Teacher and with great respect and gratitude incorporates his philosophies and methods of meditation into all of her teachings and work with Students as well as Healings. You will see in these writings this "warning": No one else can claim to be assisting the Teacher as his representative. The Teacher himself is the only one who can make this acknowledgement. Both Wong Loh and Leong Tan have publicly acknowledged (in workshops and retreats) Dr. Marie's teachings and students in her area were instructed to continue their development by studying with her if they desired to eventually initiate with Wong Loh . The material presented here is the o

The Wounded Vulnerable Narcissist

Image
The Wounded Vulnerable Narcissist Many people are very self-critical and most, while acknowledging   they might indeed feel this way “sometimes”,   seem to be reluctant to do any work on these feelings or behaviors, other than “being positive” about themselves. And usually this means that “being positive” is the generic feel good kind of “thing” rather than being specific and realistic. Generic feel good statements (given either through self –talk or as complements from friends and new age teachers) are really not useful other than a quick hit of feel good emotions and perhaps as a distraction from some current uncomfortable emotions or challenges. For some reason, people seem to feel that if they actually go into their feelings, rather than continuing to bury them and attempting to live on top of what will become a self-perpetuating swamp land, that they are now being “negative” or perhaps will in fact “manifest” negativity (all the new age nonsense jargon).   People speaking in
